Azhar Mahmood’s Brilliant Counterattacking Century & Moin Khan’s Fighting Knock

In a gripping first Test at The Wanderers, Azhar Mahmood produced one of the finest all-round performances ever by a Pakistani cricketer in South Africa. His superb 136, combined with Moin Khan’s fighting 46, rescued Pakistan from 155 for 6 to a competitive total of 329. South Africa’s fearsome pace attack — Shaun Pollock, Allan Donald, Lance Klusener, and Jacques Kallis — had Pakistan on the ropes before Mahmood’s counterattack turned the innings around. Displaying immaculate balance and timing, he struck 16 fours and 2 sixes, expertly farming the strike with the tail. Earlier, Moin Khan’s gritty 46 off 93 balls anchored the middle order, while the lower order offered brief resistance. Mahmood’s partnership with Moin (for the sixth wicket) laid the foundation for Pakistan’s eventual fightback. Despite his heroics, South Africa, led by Cronje, Donald, and Pollock, went on to secure a narrow victory — but Azhar Mahmood’s century at Johannesburg remains one of the most memorable Pakistani innings on South African soil. 🕒 Key Moments (YouTube Chapters) 0:00 – Toss & Team News 0:30 – South Africa’s Early Breakthroughs 1:45 – Moin Khan’s Counterattack 3:00 – Azhar Mahmood Arrives – Calm Under Pressure 4:30 – Partnership Builds: Moin & Azhar Frustrate the Bowlers 6:00 – Azhar’s Century at The Wanderers 7:30 – Klusener & Pollock Clean Up the Tail 8:00 – End of Innings: Pakistan 329 All Out 8:40 – South Africa’s Response & Result 9:30 – Post-Match Recap: Mahmood’s Heroics in Vain #pakvssa #azharmahmood #cricketmax #highlights
